On a Monday in January like today, is anything more enjoyable than discovering a rare stamp or scarce postmark? 1Kg Kiloware is made up of used postage stamps offered for sale to collectors by weight. At first glance, 1kg kiloware will usually appear to be an unremarkable mass of postally used stamps, mostly still stuck to paper, that has been snipped from someones mail. Sometimes kiloware stamps already soaked off paper is offered for sale but this can prove more expensive as many more stamps are needed to make up the same weight compared to standard 1kg kiloware on paper.

Some kiloware dealers seperate kiloware in to small, low-value definitives, commemorative and pictorial stamps, higher values and air mails etc. and price these mixtures by the kilo accordingly. However, some kiloware enthusiasts avoid buying these stamp mixtures as, having already been sorted and graded, lucky finds are could be less likely.
